Overview
- The Senate says all steel components for the new northwestern Elsenbrücke section are installed and welding now runs in two shifts.
- Traffic has been reconfigured in Treptow with extended lanes toward the bottleneck, a longer bus lane at Treptower Park, and a temporary bus lane on Puschkinallee.
- Authorities are reviewing a 2+1 lane layout that would move cycling to a two‑way path on the east side, but ramp structure defects must be remediated first with utility constraints under review.
- Experts expect the western Elsenbrücke section to open no earlier than January 2026, with a later date possible.
- Construction of the Ringbahnbrücke at Dreieck Funkturm is underway, with brief night S‑Bahn closures in December, a three‑day interruption planned for Q3 2026, demolition of the A100 bridge over Halenseestraße Ost from October 30 to November 3, and completion targeted for summer 2027.
